/dev/fd refers to the file descriptors for the current process and is

I've never looked at MAKEDEV (I used devfs and now udev for quite some
time), but you can make the device node with the following command :
# mknod /dev/fd0 b 2 0
# chmod 660 /dev/fd0
# chgrp floppy /dev/fd0
Just out of curiosity, do you have a /dev/floppy directory?
If you are using devfs or udev, then loading the floppy driver will
cause the node to be created automatically.

How to shoot yourself in the foot with Java:
You find that Microsoft and Sun have released incompatible class libraries
both implementing Gun objects. You then find that although there are
plenty of feet objects implemented in the past in many other languages,
you cannot get access to one. But seeing as Java is so cool, you don't
care and go around shooting anything else you can find.
